GeeXLab 0.13.0 Released for All Platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS and RPi)

A new update of GeeXLab is available for all supported platforms: Windows (32/64-bit), Linux (64-bit), macOS and Raspberry Pi / Raspbian (OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL 2.1).

Where is the version 0.12.x.x for all platforms? Honestly I don’t know. Versions 0.12.0 and 0.12.1 have been released on June 2016 for Windows, but I failed to release them for other platforms, probably due to a lack of time. During recent coding sessions, I added many new features to GeeXLab and I finally decided to jump to the version 0.13.

GeeXLab 0.13.0 is for LEDs addicts. On Windows, I added the support of Logitech’s LED SDK. Logitech’s LED SDK functions are available in Lua and Python (the new lib is gh_logiled) and allow to program all Logitech’s devices that have LEDs like the G810 Orion. I will write a post about how to use Logitech LED functions (Updated @ 2016-11-18: the post is available HERE).

The second big feature of GeeXLab 0.13.0 is the support of RGB LED matrix panels in the Raspberry Pi version. Now you can easily control any RGB LED panel (16×32, 32×32, etc.) in Lua and Python using the new gh_rpi.rgbmatrix_xxxx() set of functions. This is very cool and easy to use. You can render any kind of scene on the RGB LED matrix panel. You are not limited to simple 2D shapes or text. I will write articles about that topic very very shortly.
